Russia-
NATO war, the occupation of a 65 km (40 mi)-long strip of land by the former is enough to cut the Baltic states from the rest of
NATO and the
European Union? Source: Basically the whole point of why it's called a gap; see

ALT3: ... that one of the coldest areas in Poland may actually be one of the hottest in
NATO? Coldest: see Polityka article (it's literally one of the coldest areas), hottest: as in hot spot, the one with most activity:

Szmenderowiecki, to help the reviewer, please could you add a reliable source or sources for each hook, especially for the "hottest" part of ALT3?

I'm now listening to proceedings of a conference related to the topic, once I'm done (should be by tomorrow morning), I'll post everything as proposed. So far the indications of where the sources lie are given. The "hottest" part is more in the meaning of a "hot spot".

All good (size, refs, neutrality, date, etc.). The only minor concern is regardng the tone of ALT3. As the nom admits: " a bit trollish, but I would prefer this one, 'cause it's catchy". I concur it is catchy, but I have concerns it is too catchy to be encyclopedic (reminds of the "old" days of the Wikipedia were such tone was allowed, however). Which hook to use, I'll leave to the DYK admins. Well done! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|
